GREEN HAVEN SHELTER FOR WOMEN
*************************
Grab your joystick and get ready for an unforgettable evening of fun, food, and entertainment as Green Haven Shelter for Women proudly presents Green Haven After Dark, Orillia’s first-ever late-night fundraiser event infused with the vibrant energy of a ’90s arcade.
This exciting event will take place on Nov. 9, 2024 at the Orillia Square mall, and promises an evening full of games, live music, delicious food, drinks, and community connection — with the aim of raising $20,000 for a crucial cause.
Every dollar raised from this event will go directly to Green Haven’s child and youth program, helping provide essential supplies, staffing, and support to children impacted by gender-based violence.
“This is your chance to enjoy a memorable night out while making a tangible difference in the lives of children affected by domestic violence,” said executive director of Green Haven Linda Reid. “Whether you’re bringing friends, family, or coworkers, Green Haven After Dark is sure to be a fun night filled with excitement that will make a difference.”
Event highlights include:
- Live entertainment: from local DJ and exciting acts, including host, local drag sensation Justine D’as.
- Classic arcade games: Remember Dance Dance Revolution, Pac-Man, Cash Tornado and Basketball Hoops? Play to earn tickets you can use to enter to win prizes.
- $50 gift card to be awarded to the highest scores of the evening.
- Delicious food and drinks: Enjoy bites from Eclectic Café Orillia and late-night snacks, along with an array of beverages included with your ticket.
- Silent auction: Begins Nov. 1 with great items like Shoresy tickets, Raptors tickets, photo sessions — proceeds support Green Haven’s child and youth program.
- Community connections: Meet and mingle with other fun-loving members of the Orillia community.
The event is put on with the support of a variety of local sponsors whose generous support will help make Green Haven After Dark a night to remember.
